Adjusting the shock absorber
assembly
This shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing nut.
CAUTION:
ECA10100
Never attempt to turn an adjusting
mechanism beyond the maximum or
minimum settings.
Adjust the spring preload as follows.
1.
Loosen the locknut.
2.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension,
turn the adjusting nut in direction
(a). To decrease the spring pre-
load and thereby soften the sus-
pension, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (b).
NOTE:
The spring preload setting is deter-
mined by measuring distance A, shown
in the illustration. The shorter distance
A is, the lower the spring preload; the
longer distance A is, the higher the
spring preload.
